The National Taxpayer Advocate Erin M. Collins today released her mid-year report to Congress. Read the report

According to a related IRS release—IR-2025-71 (June 25, 2025)—the report:

  • Says that the tax-return filing season generally ran smoothly this year, but identifies as key taxpayer challenges:
    • Delays in issuing refunds to identity theft victims
    • Delays in processing employee retention credit (ERC) claims
    • Critical challenges facing taxpayers and the IRS as the agency prepares for the 2026 filing season
  • Outlines recommendations as the IRS continues to modernize its technology systems

The National Taxpayer Advocate submits two reports to Congress each year: an annual report, delivered in January, and an objectives report, delivered in June. Because the Taxpayer Advocate Services is an independent organization within the IRS, these reports are delivered to the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee with no prior review or comment from the IRS Commissioner.
